Farewell James Jordon

Disappointing to see James Jordon leave.

But I totally understand his situation. He wants to play more midfielder minutes for an AFL Club.

Greatful of all he did as a Demon and as a substitute who unfortunately never got onto the ground in the Grand Final for the 2021 AFL Premiership. That was a shame. But at least he received a Premiership Medallion!

Definitely a handy player for us!

I wish "JJ" all the best for the future (except against the Demons) at his new home over at the Swans.

    I hope no melbourne supporter boos him next year. JJ has been a good player for us and dueto our elite midfield it was always  going to be hard for him to grab a spot. 

    So I hope he gets his opportunity at sydney and goes well for them.

    Best of luck JJ. You'll always be a demon with that premiership medal.

    Struggle to see how he fits into Sydney's midfield though. Feel he will still be a fringe player there.

    Just an old man’s quirk, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Demons number 23. 
     

    Some of my favorites -  players who had a bit of X factor or were fan favorites in their day:

    Geoff Tunbridge

    Kelly O’Donnell

    James McDonald

    Kevin Dyson

     

    and of course Clarko when he was with us. 

    James Jordon certainly fits the enigma of number 23. Will be the only player ever in V/AFL to win a premiership without setting foot on the ground in the Grand Final.

    At least Peter McLean 1964 and Cameron Mooney in 1999.

    Are Sydney getting another 80% extra with COLA? Rumoured to be splashing cash and have a star studded team. Understand Bud left, but wow

    Great club man and servant.

    Never met him but gave the impression he was a very humble, hard working chap.

    Unlucky not to get on the park in the GF but then again so was chunk.

    Good luck at the Swans and hope he gets to play a few finals (preferably not against us).

    29 disps (23 kicks 6 hballs), 8 marks and a goal in Rd 13 26-pt loss to Collingwood at the MCG (13 Jun 2022)

    Couldnt do it every week but was a great game 

    Its a shame but he was a momentum killer with us Swans may use him differently

    It looks like he is joining an even longer queue for a midfield starting role at Sydney than if he stayed at Melbourne.

    Agreed, he shouldn’t get booed. Can’t blame the guy for seeking better opportunities.

    And given some MFC supporters were actively cheering on Luke Jackson in our loss to Fremantle last year, I don’t think there’ll be any booing issues for JJ.

    Yes right now JJ was only depth, but in a few years he may not have been.  I'm beginning to think that we need to do more to keep players in his age demographic to sustain the team in the years we will be comming to soon when the Viney, Tracs and Brayshaw, Langdon, Hunter etc cohort start to fall away.  Similarly players like Bedford.  And great teams need good depth.

    I partially understand Jordan's reason to move, but when he's going to a club where the midfield will be similarly strong to ours, that becomes a little less understandable.

    I'd actually be inclined to boo him and Bedford in the future.

    They saved $12m missing out on Naughton.

    I will watch Jimmy the kid Jordon have 28 touches a game in his sleep in the well oiled machine that is the Sydney Swom then flick over to watch Sparrow's 14 touches and six fumbles a week thinking what could have been

    ...and you are, of course, staking your reputation on this prediction, Adonski

    It wouldn't surprise to find that JJ ends up in the same position he was in at the Dees but paying 10-20% more per month on his digs for the privilege.

    He's not going to be that great of a loss nor can I see him being in their best 22.

    They've got some good talent coming through their midfield and I don't know where he fits amongst all that.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
